Pandas, Pizza & Mala Heat: 5:59+ Cafe & Bistro at 313@Somerset

August 6, 2026
Summary: Craving panda-cute desserts with a fiery Sichuan kick? 5:59+ Cafe & Bistro at 313@Somerset brings Chengdu’s #1 Western dining concept to Orchard Road, blending mala flavours with Western classics in a lush urban garden setting.

Chengdu’s Top Western Dining Concept Lands in Singapore

5:59+ Cafe & Bistro first opened in Chengdu, China in 2019 under hospitality group Burano, quickly earning the title of Chengdu’s #1 trending Western restaurant across multiple Chinese food platforms. After expanding to five outlets in China — including locations in Chongqing and Mianyang — the brand made its first international debut in Singapore, officially opening at 313@Somerset on 28 October 2025.

The 313@Somerset outlet sits within the mall’s alfresco area, welcoming guests into a modern “urban garden” space filled with marbled finishes, warm woody accents, and lush greenery — a calming contrast to the bustle of Orchard Road just outside.

Panda-Themed Fun Meets Sichuan Heat

The name “5:59+” captures the moment just before 6pm, reflecting the bistro’s all-day dining concept — equally suited to a leisurely brunch, a spicy dinner, or drinks with friends. True to its Chengdu roots, the cafe leans into the city’s beloved panda mascot with playful, Instagram-ready touches throughout the menu, from marshmallow pandas floating on lattes to bamboo-shaped milk tea cups.

Since opening, the bistro has become known for genuinely embracing authentic mala flavours rather than a watered-down version, giving Singapore diners a taste of Sichuan spice fused with Western comfort food classics.

Pro Tip: 5:59+ Cafe & Bistro is not halal-certified, so do check with staff about ingredients if you have dietary requirements before ordering.

What to Order

Signature Panda Specialties include the showstopping Kongfu Panda Wellington ($59), the Panda Mist Jasmine Milk Tea ($9.80), and the Old Chengdu Jasmine Beancurd ($9.80). Adventurous diners should try the Mala Beef Tongue ($26), the fiery Mala Hot Pot Pizza topped with beef stomach, or the boldly unconventional D24 Durian Pizza for something you genuinely won’t find anywhere else in Singapore.

For something more familiar, the Szechuan Pepper Steak, Margherita Pizza ($27), and Beef Bolognese Pasta ($26) round out the Western side of the menu. On the drinks front, the Old Chengdu Mala Coffee ($9.80++) — spiced with dried chilli and star anise — is a genuine conversation starter, while the adorable Panda Mousse Cake ($12) and Bamboo Milk Tea make for the perfect Instagram-worthy finish to a meal.
